Geekiness of gadgetry

I have become quite entranced by gadget shows which I used to recoil from, this has developed through discussions and sharing information with colleagues studying the MAODE. It is rapidly developing and I've recently been researching iPads and Kindles, all comments/recommendations welcomed.

My gadget interest has been enhanced through television viewing, either there are more of these programmes than there used to be or my interest now draws me to them - probably both. For example I was always fairly keen on the tv show 'Something for the Weekend' which has not been revamped as 'Sunday Brunch', these including a gadget section. Then I found myself watching the Gadget Show because I could not be bothered to reach my arm an extra inch/centimetre for the remote control, and discovered that it was quite interesting.

Particularly I enjoyed the recent Stephen Fry (yes, he gets everywhere doesn't he!) programme on 100 greatest gadgets. It inspired me, as I suppose was the purpose, to consider my top 10 - and yes it was this that led me to wanting an iPad or Kindle (not decided which one as yet). This is a work in progress and I will feedback my deliberations in due course.
